Folktailor can design and produce this for you. It wil be fitted to your size, and made in the fabric and colours you prefer. This is how it goes: 1. Send me a message by mail or the contact page on this site, in wich you include: - Your full name and address,- Your e-mail adress,- Your measurements (unless you want to be measured by me in the workshop)- A detailed description of the item/outfit you want to have. (you can add links of photos, wich you like and want to order something similar). Note that I don't copy anything directly, I always make a design. I do not take cosplay commissions.- The date you want to wear it. (Keep in mind that a large commission will take at least 6 weeks for designing, production and shipment.)2. -I will reply by mail in wich I offer a design and a price. If you want, you can give feedback on the design, and I can make some changes. I will send the fabric samples by mail, and you can reply on this topic by mail. -We will pick dates for measurments, fitting sessions and delivery.  -If you approve of the design and price I will send an invoice of payment of 50%. I will start with the project when the money has been transferred. Note that if you wait too long with the first payment I might not be able to get it done at the time of the deadline. 3. When the project is finished I will mail/call, and send an invoice of payment for the other 50%. You can digitally transfer this and I will send the item as soon as the money has arrived, or you can pay this when you come pick up the order after the final fitting session.

I graduated as a fashion designer at the Utrecht School of Arts (HKU) in August 2011 and founded Folktailor in September 2011. In November 2011 I won the Startop competition. Since then I've been busy with custom projects and made a ready to wear collection which were for sale at Castlefest, Keltfest and Fantasiafest. Since January 2013 I focus only on custom projects because that is the most inspiring (and time- consuming) work. The Folktailor label is all about clothing for special occasions, designed especially to the customer's wishes and fitted to his/her measurements. The style varies from different cultures mixed with modern and/or historical influences. The items shown in the shop are the only ones that are in stock and ready for shipping the moment you order them. Custom commissions will take some time to produce (about four to six weeks): These items are completely original. Each outfit is unique, made in any fabric and colour combination that you want. If you have a commission  for me, please contact me through the contact page on this site and don't forget to give me your email address ;-). I will reply by mail to discuss your specific wishes about the design, fabric and colour. Then, I will send you a drawn sketch for a design. The design process will proceed according to your requirements. For more information, please check the terms and conditions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.

If you have any questions about the measurements, contact me. Please measure carefully, I cannot be held responsible for inaccurate measurements submitted by the customer.
